How hard was it to install the black kidneys?

How hard was it to install the black kidneys?

its a little bit of a process with pulling out the rubber under the hood and unscrewing all the front bolts just to get in back of them...so i just had my dealer do it..... figured theyd do it faster and i didnt want to break my 435i which had 5 miles on it

EBII color is like a chameleon. Everytime I see one the shade of blue is different. It seems to looks its best in direct sunlight, clean of course.

Awesome, I LOVE how that color looks!
Are you planning to get any paint protection done?

I was thinking about it, is paint protection REALLY worth it? for now I think im done till spring. Between the roof wrap, the tints, the emblems, the m perf pack carbon fiber mirrors, the m perf pack pedals and the car itself....it is a lease and I generally keep my cars in good condition and garaged.

They are an option called M Sport Brakes they come only in blue, not sure if you have to have the M sport to select it.... I know you can also go to bmw's parts shop and order them in ceramic black red blue or yellow

In order to get M sport brakes you need to order 19", which means you also need to get summer performance tires. It's a relatively cheap option at $600 but I needed all season tires given my geographical location.

At this point you can get the M-Sport brakes with 18" wheels ($650).
